Used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules. Its structure allows for further functionalization, making it valuable in medicinal chemistry for building complex aromatic compounds. Also employed in research settings to design compounds with potential antimicrobial or anticancer properties. The presence of amino, chloro, and methoxy groups enables selective reactions useful in heterocyclic synthesis.
